About The Position

A Fiber Splicer installs, terminates, tests, and repairs fiber optic cables for commercial electronic security and low-voltage networks. This role requires expertise in both single and ribbon fiber splicing, interpreting system blueprints, and using specialized equipment to ensure secure, high-speed data transmission.

Requirements

Typically requires 1 to 3+ years of hands-on experience in fiber splicing, structured cabling, or related low-voltage construction.
Deep understanding of fiber optic theory (color codes, single/multi-mode fibers) and proficiency in using cleavers, strippers, and fusion splicers.
Must be physically capable of lifting 50 lbs, distinguishing color codes, and working in varied environments including data centers, construction sites, and aerial or underground spaces.

Nice To Haves

BICSI certifications (such as Installer 2 Fiber) and OSHA training (10 or 30) are highly preferred.

Responsibilities

Prepare, strip, and accurately splice fiber optic strands using both fusion and mechanical techniques in Inside Plant (ISP) and Outside Plant (OSP) environments.
Operate advanced diagnostic tools such as OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers) and optical power meters to ensure optimal signal quality and locate faults.
Interpret schematics, floor plans, and splice matrices to execute precise cable routing and connections.
Maintain splice enclosures, patch panels, and update fiber documentation upon project completion.
